Kylie Jenner’s Dropped A Mind-Blowingly Expensive $479 Brush Collection

Kylie Cosmetics (Kylie Jenner‘s makeup brand, for anyone who has LITERALLY been living under a rock, bc come on)  must rake in the dollars. Like rake them the fuck in – what started as simply lip kits off the back of Kylie’s “natural, makeup made” pout from back in 2014 (lol, until she admitted to lip fillers) is now a multi-product monster of a brand, and Kylie’d be raking in the dollarydoos for suuuure.

So with that in mind – Kylie bb, why the fuck have you priced your new brush collection at… $479AUD?

1. Large Powder Brush $48 2. Large Stippling Brush $30 3. Medium Tapered Brush $28 4. Dense Powder Brush $26 5. Angled Face Brush $24 6. Rounded Face Brush $28 7. Medium Stippling Brush $22 8. Small Fluff Brush $22 9. Fan Brush $20 10. Large Shader Brush $20 11. Angled Blending Brush $16 12. Medium Shader Brush $20 13. Small Shader Brush $18 14. Concealer Brush $18 15. Tapered Blending Brush $20 16. Small Smudge Brush $18 The complete limited-edition set of all 16 luxury brushes, all of Kylie's must-haves, is $360 and comes with the silver brush roll.

The Silver Series collection in fairness is sold individually – you can buy whichever brushes you need. But the prices even for the individual brushes are slightly unhinged. Take the Large Powder Brush, which clocks in at $64. Here are some other large powder brushes you can get for a fraction of that price. Zoeva’s powder brush is $28. It’s got a 4.5 star rating on Sephora.

Mecca’s Mecca Max range’ll give you one for $35.

And NYX have one for $24.95.

Here’s the thing – it will cost you Kylie Jenner prices to pick up a full-on luxury brand powder brush. MAC, Hourglass and other high-end makeup brands are around the same prices as Kylie Cosmetics. But the issue is – do we consider Kylie Cosmetics on par with these kinds of brands?

People on Twitter don’t think so. Kylie tweeted yesterday about the pricey tools, and was met with some fire opposition.

I always fight for the lowest price on all my products. Here are some other real brush lines for reference pic.twitter.com/mOxwmFJJcM

Man she thinks she deserves that “15 + year in the industry, renowned, known for amazing quality, years of experience” coin but been serving nothing but average since she been into makeup.

If we need proof on why she can’t compare; didn’t she have to send out lip brushes to everyone who bought her lip kits at one point because the quality sucked???

A $50 or even $60 set would be reasonable. But $360????? Almost $400???????? That’s a car payment for brushes that come from a company with less than stellar quality. She’s smoking, sounds high af
